Freezing all the time??????

Hi folks, I am about 3 and 1/2 weeks out from my RNY. I am freezing all the time. Last night I set the thermostat at 72 and went to bed in a turtle neck, pj bottoms, terry robe, and had a sheet, 2 blankets, comforter and another robe over me. Do you think I am sick? My temp ran 99 last night with an ear thermometer, but that doesn't seem much to be concerned about. My husband said my hands were like ice and I know my nose was cold. Any thoughts about this? Should I call my surgeon? I am 45 years old and usually get hot flashes and feel sick if I get very warm. NOT NOW THOUGH- I am so COLD>I feel fine otherwise. Kim M.

I'm 2 1/2 years out and it has only been within the last couple of months that I don't freeze all the time....AND I live in So. Florida where it's generally hot all the time. It's a pretty common thing, but also keep in mind that you can have the same symptoms with anemia....so make sure you're taking vits and iron if your doctor presribed it.

Hi Kim I looked into this myself, because I too was freezing all the time!! I was told that it is because we aren't eating the same and we aren't producing a chemical called..ummm...ummmm creotine maybe?? I know it started with a C. Anyway, as with a lot of symptoms with WLS this too is "normal". Dawnya P.S. Hopefully it will be a great thing in the summer, lol!!
